During the interview, portfolio is one of the
for a successful ux design interview.
It represents the ability and accomplishment of a designer. But,
sometimes even though you have some excellent designs, you might don't
have an excellent portfolio. Well, how to design a portfolio?

When you build a design portfolio, there are three things that you need to focus.

1. Interesting originality

2. Clear logic

3. Fetching expressiveness

Step 1: Interesting originality

Creating
an interesting originality is the best method to attract users when
there are so many designs publishing everyday. There are some writers of
sensational headlines whose posts may not be that good, but the
headlines are really attractive. But, of course, it's not the way of how
to design a portfolio, we should pay more attention to interesting
originality design. The idea of originality may come from everything: it
may come to you while you sit in front of a desk, while you stand on
the peak in travelling, and it may come to you while you study others'
design. Well, here I recommend the
demo projects of Mockplus, and there are plenty of apps and webs which are popular now. What's more, they provide the project files.

Step 2: Clear logic

How
to design a portfolio with an interesting originality? Just throw it on
the ground and people will find out? Basically, that's not right. You
need a clear logic to present your designs and works. There is logic not
just in the single design, but among all the designs in the portfolio.
While you are trying to
make complicated things simple, it's also necessary sometimes to make simple things complicated, make everything connect to each other.

Step 3: Fetching expressiveness

If
we take the interesting originality as the soul of your portfolio, the
clear logic as the skeleton, then the fetching expressiveness is the
flesh. It's terrifying when you see a running skeleton which is only
carrying a soul, the flesh is too important to be ignored. All the
shapes, lines, colors are not just lying down there, they have lives.
